SECAC 2025 – Cincinnati, OH

October 22 -25, 2025

Venue: Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza

Academic Conference Director: Tracy Stonestreet

Conference Theme

Hosted in the vibrant art community of downtown Cincinnati, Ohio, SECAC 2025 will be organized around the theme of Flux / Flow. Though related terms, the concept of flux connotes a constant state of potential change and transformation, whereas flow can evoke the continuity and sequence of a river or the march of time. Recognizing that art has flourished in periods of change, the 2025 conference will elevate the fluidity of artistic journeys both past and present and consider how art reflects and responds to an ever-shifting cultural landscape. SECAC 2025 promises a dynamic mix of presentations, discussions, and exhibitions, all situated in the center of a city with both a long and storied history in the visual arts and a resilient and dynamic contemporary art scene.
